Hayes averaged 12.1 points in 40 games for the Sun through the 2023 season. Before joining the Sun's roster earlier this year, she spent 10 years with the Atlanta Dream.

A lot of WNBA players play two seasons to make more money, but Hayes is now choosing to do just one so she can spend more time enjoying other areas of her life.
